Large white loaf
1 small white onion
3 cloves garlic
3 - 4 tbsp butter
6 strips bacon
2 big spoons mayonnaise
3 sun dried tomato halves
dried basil
fontina cheese
1 avocado
Combine sun dried tomato, mayo, pepper and 1 clove minced garlic with blender
Slowly fry or grill bacon (important for getting it crispy but not burnt)
Fry onion in bacon fat with dried basil added towards the end
Mix butter (amount depends on how soon you want your heart attack), some bacon fat and remaining garlic
Spread butter mix on outward facing side of sliced bread
Cook low and slow
Layers are as thus: mayo on both sides, cheese, onion, bacon, avocado, bacon, cheese, lid. Butter lid.
Fuck yeah. Eat.
Read on if you care to, if not, it will not interrupt the enjoyment of this sandwich in any way.
So, I hate having to scroll through lots of self indulgent blurb about the food people are making. But it's not just the blurb, it's the glut of pictures throughout the recipe. The pictures aren't even in the recipe, or really to help you with the recipe. It's so the author can look at it and think 'wow, doesn't that look professional?' But no, it doesn't. It just looks like everyone elses. Turns out most people can take a fairly appetising picture of food as long as you can create some soft background and fade effect. The pictures very rarely help to clarify the instructions, although it does look like they should.
My own personal feelings on this sandwich are clear. It left me with a tear in my eye. I wanted to give everyone in the world a bite so they could experience the sheer joy of this decadent beast.
Aren't you glad you didn't have to scroll past all this to get to the recipe? Aren't you glad I didn't choose to inflict myself on you unless you chose that punishment? Take stock, people.
Served with a big helping of get over yourselves.
